Coding rules
To meet the WeSIS coding rules, bilateral FTAs with a signatory country that was not allocated a cow country code (Correlates of War Project 2016) or that was otherwise not included in the WeSIS country list, were in a first step deleted from the dataset. This includes the following FTAs:
- Faroe Islands – Norway
- Faroe Islands – Switzerland
- Faroe Islands – Iceland
- Hong Kong, China – China
- Macao, China – China
- Hong Kong, China - New Zealand
- Palestinian Authority - Turkey
EU and EFTA trade agreements with entities lacking a COW country code were deleted:
- EU - Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT)
- EU - Faroe Islands
- EU - Palestinian Authority
- EFTA - Palestinian Authority
- EFTA - Hong Kong, China
Other multilateral FTAs were amended:
